“

Paul McCartney's Standing Stone is Paul McCartney's second full-length release of original classical music and was issued shortly
after Flaming Pie's release in 1997. The world premiere performance was held at The Royal Albert Hall on 14 October 1997.
Following up on 1991's Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, the Standing Stone project was composed out of a long poem
McCartney authored and was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Lawrence Foster at EMI's Abbey Road Studios.
Unlike Liverpool Oratorio, this new project is not an operatic performance of a story, but an instrumental one, though it employs the use of a choir.
The cover for the album is actually one of the many photos taken by Linda McCartney during late 1969/early 1970 that would initially be seen on
the inside gatefold cover of Paul's first album McCartney. Incidentally, this project was her husband's last release before Linda succumbed
to breast cancer on 17 April 1998, having been diagnosed almost three years earlier.
Released in September 1997, Paul McCartney's Standing Stone - which was well-received - reached #1 on the classical charts, and managed
a one week stand at #194 on the US pop album listings.

audiochecker tests flacs and apes to verify if the source is lossless or not.
i red the log.
in this case it is meaning that the source cd was made from a lossy source.
there is another program to check cds: Tau Analyzer - CD Authenticity Detector
